Comic jokes about replacing ?R-word? in new sketch?and it?s awful
Comedian Tom Segura has provoked outrage in the Down syndrome community, and unleashed a spate of bullying by fans, with a sketch from his recent Netflix special “Disgraceful.” The stand-up sketch, which launched on January 12, has Segura suggesting that the use of the R-word be replaced with the term “extra 21st chromosome.”
A transcript of the sketch from The Mighty has Segura saying, “You can?t say ‘retarded’ any more. [audience laughs] It was just here. Don?t you remember" -?’Retarded.’? That?s how I? -[audience laughs] People get very upset. I don?t really support the arguments against it. When people are like, ?You shouldn?t say it.? ?Why"? ?What if there?s one over there"? And you?re like? [audience laughs] We never said it like that. We were never like, ?Look at that guy!? [audience laughs] You didn?t say it like that. You said it to describe an idea, or a situation, you know" If your friend was like, ?I?ll pick you up at your house, and then we?ll come back to my place, and later we can go back to your house. And we can get your bags. And then, we?ll come back over here after that…'” Now you?ve gotta be like, ?That?s not? smart. Your idea has an extra 21st chromosome, if you ask me.? [audience laughs] It?s not the same.”
